Acquire Essential Typing Skills Early
Helping your children learn to type correctly early in life is essential; once
bad habits set in they are more difficult to change later. With a foundation of
essential typing skills, younger students will complete homework more quickly
and accurately, and they'll possess the basic Internet skills they need to
excel.

Proven educational and instructional techniques are incorporated into Typer
Island's lessons and tests. WPM (Words Per Minute) and accuracy scores are
reported after each typing activity and results are saved for up to five
typists.
